"It was obvious in January that my treatment had failed - Cimzia, along with methotrexate and a low dose daily steroid. It took 5 months to see my rheumatologist in spite of messaging his office every month.
My rheumatologist finally prescribed Inflectra in June.
I was hopeful that I would finally feel better until my specialty pharmacy, one I have not used before, started playing silly games. I was to have my first infusion on 7/16 with the next loading dose on 7/30. So far, in spite of repeated calls to the pharmacy, who promise shipment, and calls to my insurance company, I have not yet had a single dose of Inflectra. I am physically struggling and mentally exhausted.
How can pharmacies get away with this? Why do insurance companies use these problem ridden pharmacies ? Delaying medication can make people sicker. And sicker.
I have promise number 3 that my medication will be delivered. I don't believe them."
